3 Z-line trades
3 wins. Hmmmmmm. 6.6,7.3,and 5.9........
From the 77 line...

[PTG]

Is there a reason why you have the DTB indicators on there while trading Z-lines ?

[prochargedmopar]

I was trying that "system" out today with my dad. We both got smoked.......You've got to be quick and have your "act" together.
It ain't for sissy's.

I was also begging TRO to make a Dyn Semaphor indicator a week or two ago as I feel that is very useful knowing your location in the bigger scheme of things. Sure enough, Lots of yokes like the NON- repainting sema's........ I've just got ot learn how to use them to my advantage.

Trying to learn something/anything I can use to be consistently profitable.

[prochargedmopar]

Lots of trades today.
Started out bad but then got in a little groove thanks to 3clipz3 and a little rhazin by TRO.
TRO Gratuity, Gracias, Thankyou fund:
26.56+78.81=105.37
$4 pips, started out down 30ish pips........ My goal was 50 pips today, Well it took 50 pips just to get back to here so when I cut the losses I'll start makin some headway. +19.xx total

[prochargedmopar]

TRO gratuity, gracias, thankyou fund: Back to 0
Will start again Monday. Bring on $500.

I'm very disgusted.
2 trades e/u whipped me.
I was in NFP trade long e/u again on 3rd trade and MT4 showed I should have been up 25pips and fxcm stopped me out........I just don't understand. It went like 55 total before pausing.

EDIT: Lessons? After a couple more losses.......
#1 When will I ever gong to learn NOT to go against the TREND?????
#2 And, Do NOT follow another trader into trades unless I trade WITHOUT stops.!!!!

EDIT 2: Well total -81 pips.
I caved. Moved to .10 pips for the last couple trades.
After the market settled down I did ok. +5, +12.8 ect.
#1A I will not use 8 pip stops!!!! I will not use 8 pip stops!!!! The first 5 trades would have netted 80 pips if my stop would have been 13MAX. NO LIE.
#1 I will 10 cent it ALL next week.
#2 I will not trade the BIG news until I get consistent.
#3 I'm going Dyn BuyZone and 6 Level DynFib S/R's All the way. I like the trigger lines better than the dots that are on the Trail indy. I noticed the triggers are the same.

Sample of first trades during news.

Time: 2hrs
Trades: 4
3/1

The -6.x I let run to long.
Both the +2.x trades I closed 1 min to soon/ They took off +10 or more the next min and looked as though they would. I did have all greens or reds at my back on the multi meter........

All trades were with both H1 and D1. Learned a couple more rules I didn't know that I'll implement next time. I also saw a couple things I'll be able to take advantage of for more pippage.

Kinda fun following rules.
No, I did not go back to .10 pips. Couldn't do it. This is profitable so why waist time/money.
Yes I'm trading two currencies.
With the limited amount of trading time and the simplified/strict triggers with DTB it will give me more opportunities. Picked the most docile pairs I know/heard of.
Looks good.

[prochargedmopar]

Looks like I gotta lighten up on the rules of thumb a little.
Waiting for both H1 and D1 is a doozy.

1.5hrs trade time
3 trades- 2/1

First loss was my fault as it only went 1 more pip to the neg. I got back in a few pips late after I "paused" the trade and took the +5.
I will admit I missed at least 2 trades that lined up properly.....FOCUS.

Trading time: 2hrs.
8 Trades 5/3
This is Soooooooo exasperating!!
How can the market be like a snail unless price is going against me??????
Stops are so quick and profit takes Foorrreeeevvvveeerrrr!!!!
Third day in a row that price took off at 9ish right when I'm done trading.
If I followed the rules today I would have had NO trades.
Guess that's better than these results.
I've got to figure out which ones to break and when.
I know first and foremost that I CANNOT break the H1 semaphore rule!!!
I also tried to let the trades ride as I was stopping out and then having it go in my favor.......FORGET that. -10,-10 doesn't help my positive pip production.
Maybe the M1 and 3-5 pipage is up my alley??
